Community Pillars & Leadership Awards
2021 was a critical year. Despite the challenges brought with COVID-19, we continued to grow and reach more individuals and families in Pierce County with the support of organizational and individual leaders in our community. Together, we demonstrate our community’s efforts to effect real change.
Our successes in 2021 and into 2022 would not have been possible without their support. As our way of giving thanks to their unwavering efforts week after week, the Pierce County Community Engagement Task Force is awarding organizations the 2021-2022 Community Pillar Award and individuals the 2021-2022 Community Leader Award. These awards reflect their outstanding work and unwavering efforts in support of our community.
